Scrolling Waveforms?
Scrolling Waveforms? Posted on: 06.09.2012 by Nancey Inderlied So with the CDJ-2000 Nexus release, I've noticed a bizarre amount of people amped up about the scrolling waveforms, and in the past, I've noticed a ton of comments about wanting scrolling, multicolour waveforms.I've been DJing for several years, starting on a lowly VDJ setup, moving through Traktor, and I now use a pair of CDJ-2000s, and while the spectrum colours were slightly useful, I've never really understood the point of scrolling waveforms! My question is why the Hell are they such a hot topic? They're completely useless, unless you happen to be deaf! I really can't fathom a situation where I would want to see exactly what I can already hear... | |
| Tatum Ansaldo 08.09.2012 | I find them useful for cueing and beatgridding, etc. I can't really put my finger on exactly why I like them, I just do.

| Rochel Gleese 08.09.2012 | Yeah I use it in Traktor to get my beat grids on the correct part of the sample. I actually want need an even more detailed view in Traktor. It's accurate in most cases though. |
| Johnetta Olewine 07.09.2012 | Its just Pioneer copying the competition I guess. Its good for seeing where your loops and scratch cues are at etc. But if you are trying to scratch on cdj2000 you really are a bit of a clown so that doesnt apply. |
| Hollie Koons 07.09.2012 | I like it for easier beatgridding. My question is: will the CDJ2000nxs show the scrolling waveforms from Traktor and Serato or only from Recordbox...... |
| Ashanti Andreacchio 07.09.2012 | Now that you can do beatgriding and finetuning to your rekordbox liberary on the CDJ screen they are handy because you can be more acurate. I whish that the computer version of rekordbox would have them to, it has them but I mean like the once ont the CDJ display. I also only use the scrolling waveforms in traktor for beatgriding. |
| Ossie Pooley 07.09.2012 | It's an extra feature! Granted not as useful and Link, Quantinization or Slip mode but it'll make a hell of a difference if you scratch |
| Venetta Cawyer 06.09.2012 | It's handy for seeing what's happening during scratching, I guess. Not seeing the scrolling waveform when I moved from Traktor to CDJ2000's didn't make me lose sleep. Right now we just see a scrolling waveform, not two waveforms next to each other like in Serato. I don't understand the fuzz either.. |
| Nancey Inderlied 06.09.2012 | I'm not talking about the track waveform, that's always been fairly useful, bit the big bright scrolling ones that show you the beat zoomed in. You can already see the track's structure with a track waveform. |
| Rochel Gleese 06.09.2012 | Good to see when the breakdown or drops are, but yeah i agree you should know your tunes better either way, At least on Traktor you can zoom in and out, are the CDJs only two levels of zoom (all the way in or the whole track?) |
